My wife, Clare, and children, Alice, Ned, and Sophie, and I moved from Perth, Western Australia to Athens in 1989. We had previously lived in the U.S. for a three year period while I completed a Ph D.

I am one of the few people in Athens with a genuine southern accent. I am a true southerner  I was even born in South Australia. I spent much of my childhood on a farm near Narembeen in Western Australia.

The University of Georgia has been very supportive of my academic career, and I have published over 180 articles in leading academic and practitioner journals, written or edited more than 10 books (including a data management text book and the first book on Energy Informatics). I have served as a senior editor for MIS Quarterly and was co-conference chair for International Conference on Information Systems 2004 and Americas Conference on Information Systems 2014. I have been President of the Association for Information Systems.

My current research interests are ecological sustainability, energy informatics, and information systems leadership. I collaborate with researchers in several countries.
